Police Court.

In the Police Court yesterday the case of
Chang Tung, arrested for burglarizing an
other Celestial's premises, was continued
until the 18th Tom Desmond, who stole
dummy" upon which were coat and
vest, from S. S. Nathan Il Co.'S store last
Sunday, was convicted of petit larceny and
fined $40, with the alternative of 40 days
INSTRUMENTATION Murphy, for dis
turbing the peace of Mrs. Lizzie Trap,
was fined 50, but not having the money,
J. G. English. taken in for having been
drunk, were discharged, on the plea of first
offense. Lewis Kavanaugh, another
drunk, was fined $40. as it was far from be-
ing his first effort......The case of J. j.
O'Hare, charged with burglary, in enter
ing Matt. Steinkonig's house and
stealing some ladies' apparel and
groceries, was continued until the 18TH.
The case of Miss All Choy, arrested on
charge of grand larceny, in stealing S14
from visitor to her mansion, was set for
examination tomorrow. ..... Fred Kampen,
for battery, was fined $5......When the case
of Il. NJ. Tilden, charged with grand lar
ceny, was called, the defendants counsel
stated that the defendant was ready for an
examination, and insisted that an exami-
AublCii oLlOulb NC lld'l, DSNduSC llC HdllleQ
the defendant fully exonerated in the
minds of the community as well as that of
the Court. The City Attorney said that
this case had been continued several times
for the reason that the defendant wanted
the evidence in the case taken down by the
shorthand reporter, so that the public
could see what it was, but as the official
reporters were still busy in the Superior
Court, and were liable to be busy all of the
week, that could not be done. To have
the clerk take down the evidence in long
hand would involve too much labor, espe-
cially as no possible good could accrue
from it, but he appreciated the good mo-
tves which prompted the young man and
his friends in wishing for and asking an
examination. He (the City Attorney had
carefully and thoroughly examined the
case, and was satisfied that the defendant
had not committed grand or petit larceny,
nor any other offense, and he therefore
asked the case to be dismissed. 1t was so
ordered

my name has no "U' in it. 1t is simply
Boyer, as will appear below. There is a
family of the name Boyer in your city, as
you no doubt know, the contractors and
builders. 1t is barely possible that the

HIS LAST TRIP.
Death of Captain S. S. Baldwin, a Pioneer
on the River

Death of Captain s. S. Baldwin, Pioneer
on the River.
The tolling fire-bell yesterday morning
announced the death of Captain Sheldon
S. Baldwin, native of New Jersey, aged
81 years and months, who had been
resident of Sacramento, or engaged IN nav
igating the Sacramento river to the bays
below, since 1850. Prior to his coming to
California he served his country during the
Mexican war, and in the "early days of
Sacramento he was a member OF the Vol
unteer Fire Department of this city, 1t thus
resulting that at the time of his death he
was a member of the Sacramento Assocla-
ton of Mexican War Veterans, and OF the
Exempt Firemen's Association. He en-
tered upon the business of navigation
Immediately after his arrival in the
State, and for several years piloted
schooners from San Francisco to Sacra-
mento and Marysville. Subsequently, as
steamers took the place of sailing craft, he
was employed upon them as pilot or Cap
tam, up to year ago, when consumption
seized upon him, and for the past three or
four months he has been confined to his
house. His experiences on the water In
Guided many thrilling incidents, among
them three steamboat explosions, one on
the bay and two on the river. One OF
these was the bursting of the boiler OF the
steamer John A. McClelland, three miles
below Knights Landing August %, 1861,
entailing the loss of fifteen lives and the
injury of eleven persons. Captain Baldwin
was at the wheel at the time, and on hear
ing the explosion found himself ascend
ing in the air He had no idea
Of ~ 70 he rbea lint ba
fell upon the wreck near the smoke
stack, and was injured, but not
seriously. The steamer Gem, Captain Eos
ter, came along and brought the wounded
to Sacramento. Three years later-Sep-
TENDER 5, 1S64-Captain Baldwin was on
the steamer Washoe when her boilers ex-
ploded in Steamboat slough, about ten
miles above Rio Vista, causing 20 or 30
deaths and the iniuring of about 40 per-
sons. By a singular coincidence it was
Captain Foster, then on the steamer Ante
lope, who first arrived to the rescue of the
distressed people on the wreck of the
Washoe, and brought them to this city.
All old residents willremember the ringing
OF the alarm bells, calling citizens to rally
for the relief of the injured, and the terri
bic scene the cabins of the Antelope pre-
scented, covered with agonized humanity
Captain Baldwin's good luck stood him in
good stead on the occasion of this accident,
he being of the few who escaped unhurt.
He was man of kindly, jovial disposition,
to whom good luck seemed to properly be-
long-always good-natured, prodigal of his
money for the benefit OF his friends, and
rarely making an enemy. Thousands Of
people residing along the river and bays,
or who have had occasion to travel on the
waters of this portion of the State, will re
member him. and regret to hear that he
has made his last trip.

A DIFFICULT JoB.-The work of getting
the snow plow-which was ditched on
Monday while going from Sims to Duns-
muir, on the California and Oregon Rail
road, in consequence OF the track spreading
back upon the rails, proved more diff
cult undertaking than was at first supposed,
and it was not placed upon its legs until
about o'clock last evening. 1t will start
at o'clock this morning to clear the track
to the new terminus, Montague, and it is
thought the road will be open by tonight,
though there is a good deal of snow in some
of the cuts, and in other places where it
had good opportunity to lodge-in some
localities depth of six or seven feet. The
road was last evening clear as far as Duns-
muir and the weather was favorable tor
the prosecution of the work.
UNUSUAL SPoRT.-The roofs of the cars
composing the passenger train from Colfax
were covered with snow to the depth of
three or four inches when they arrived here
yesterday morning, owing to the fact that
snow fell during the previous night as far
down the hill as Auburn. Boys, young
men and women, and many that were not
quite as young and risky as they were
when they saw snow before, made a rush
for it, and quite a snowballing time re-
suited. with lots of fun Some of the
ladies carried quantity of fleecy' home
with them, to astonish their unsuspecting
friends.
ANXIOUS ABOUT HIM Two or three
weeks since Charles S. Warner, who resides
in one of the upper counties, hi, mother
living in this city, went to San Francisco
with a band of horses for sale. He dis
posed of them and about week ago sent
back for some more, since which he has
not been heard of in any manner by his
family, who are feeling very anxious in
consequence, and yesterday applied to the
police for assistance in the matter, fearing
that something has happened to him or
that he has met with foul play.
THE CRY TAX LEvIED.-The City Trus-
tees met yesterday morning and levied the
city tax for the ensuing year. They did
not levy the amount asked for by the Board
of Education for school purposes-25 cents
nor make provision for an increase OF the
Police Department, but placed the figures
as follows: General fund, 81; Fire De
partment, % cents school fund, 90 street
fund, 10 sewer fund, 10 police fund. 10
library fund. 5. Total. 81 so on each 500
worth of taxable property, which is %
cents less than last year.
BRAKEMAN HURT. A. Lemay, q
brakeman on the California and Oregon
Railroad, who formerly lived in Sacra.
mento, was engaged yesterday in cutting
away the branches Of tree that had fallen
across the telegraph wires at kennett, be-
tween Redding and Delta, when branch
gave way and he fell to the ground receiv.
ing severe cuts on the head and face, and
an injury 10 his side. He was taken tc
Redding, where he received surgical attend
ance
